Clay McLeod Chapman got me haunted with Ghost Eaters, and has me crawling out of my skin with What Kind of Mother.
A gorgeous and heartbreaking southern gothic folk tale about the horrors of parenting and love gone too far.
What Kind of Mother is drenched with love, with loss, with the screaming ache of a parent’s worst nightmare, and then…can it be? A wish granted. But reader, be careful what you wish for.
What Kind of Mother is drenched with love, with loss, with the screaming ache of a parent’s worst nightmare, and then…can it be? A wish granted. But reader, be careful what you wish for.
This book lures you in with false hopes and a gentle tide, and then flips your boat and drags you to the bottom of the river where the crabs are waiting to feast.
Give me your hand and come with me into the murky depths of this horrifically beautiful novel.
